Medieval and Early Modern Studies

The certificate in Medieval and Early Modern Studies, also known as MEMS is an interdisciplinary program spanning the years c. 300 to 1800 CE with a focus on the geography, cultures, and the intellectual traditions of Europe. At the same time, the program is predicated on an awareness that Europe did not exist in isolation and must be studied in broader context, with attention to its environs, colonies, trade routes, and to sources of artistic, intellectual, and theological inspirations outside of its geographical boundaries. The program includes offerings from seven different departments: Anthropology, Art History, English, Languages, History, Music, Philosophy and Religion.
